Quantum Electrodynamics

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the quantum field theory of electromagnetism. It describes how light and matter interact at the most fundamental level. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Quantization of the Electromagnetic Field: Light is described as a collection of particles called photons, each with a specific energy and momentum. Quantization of Charge: Electric charge exists … Read more

Quantum Field Theory

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework in physics that combines classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of subatomic particles. It posits that fundamental forces and matter particles arise from the excitations of quantum fields permeating all of spacetime. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Quantum Fields: The universe … Read more
